Chapter 495: Chapter 328: Sword Discussion Concludes, Rewarding Merits! [Volume 2 ’Sword Discussion’ Completed!]_5
...
"Tin Character Arena Champion!"
"Peng Fannian Team!"
"Joining the ’Twelve Strong’, Team Captain Peng Fannian prioritizes chivalry. The ’Twelve Skills of Acupuncture’ are exquisite. Though not a ’Hidden Dragon’, he surprises everyone with an outstanding performance in rounds 47, 57, 67, and 77, showing great promise for the future. Comprehensive evaluation: Second Tier Third Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (40,000 jin), troops (5,000 men)."
"Victory..."
"Defending arena..."
...
"Chen Character Champion!"
"Situ Fei Team!"
"Joining the ’Twelve Strong’, Team Captain Situ Fei is first in talent with three Absolute Skills, proficient in offense and defense in the arena, and has a benevolent heart worthy of praise. Team member Shen Xia shines with the ’Fire Phoenix Facing the Sun Technique’ and ’Ten Directions Divine Fist’, contributing greatly. Comprehensive evaluation: Second Tier First Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (40,000 jin), troops (8,000 men)."
"Victory..."
"Defending arena..."
...
In the heavens, the Shen Wu ranks were announced and recited.
From the Zi Character Arena Master Ma Hongniang Team, then to the Chou Character Luo Qi, and Tin Character Ban Xianfu—
Continuously broadcasting!
Constantly announcing!
Each reward at the peak of Chess Stone Peak stirred wave after wave of excitement.
For the ’Twelve Strong’, the rewards of the ’Arena Master Award’ and ’Victory Award’ are negligible. The real big deal is the reward for the ’Twelve Strong’—
Minimum Fifth Tier!
Maximum Second Tier!
The court’s comprehensive evaluation of the twelve strong teams has been generous, reasonable, and unchallengeable thus far.
For example, Ma Hongniang, though part of the ’Twelve Strong’ and courageous in stages 67 and 77 against Evil Qi, in the Early Stage she relied on the Third-Rank Treasure ’White Bone Banner’ to be aggressive. Though later her strength was strong, it was amidst Evil Qi, not under normal conditions, so under normal conditions, she doesn’t qualify as Absolute and is ranked Third Tier First Level.
As for Luo Qi, his ranking on the ’Hidden Dragon List’ is not low, but ultimately he doesn’t qualify as Absolute, and his later performance is average, thus he’s determined to be Fourth Tier First Level.
Regarding Ban Xianfu, Peng Fannian, Situ Fei, and others as absolute figures, the lowest is Second Tier Ninth Level, with Situ Fei notably reaching Second Tier First Level, which is the top level.
Ban Xianfu didn’t perform badly after stage 47 and was at his worst in stage 67, but due to his absolute strength, he managed to secure a Second Tier Ninth Level.
The others—
Peng Fannian, Second Tier Third Level.
Jing Bao, Second Tier Fifth Level.
Lu Yuru, Second Tier Seventh Level.
Ding Xiang, Second Tier Third Level.
Wei Lingshan, Second Tier Second Level.
All are in the Second Tier, but due to differences in strength and overall performance, the rankings within the Second Tier vary, with the same reward of Essence Stones but differing numbers of troops as rewards.
The highest is Situ Fei commanding 8,000 troops.
The lowest is Ban Xianfu with only 800 men.
However, regardless, the guaranteed reward of 40,000 jin of Essence Stones for the Second Tier is enough for these absolute figures to become the big winners of this Cang Mountain Sword Discussion.
As for Gao Changyi and Guo Xi, they too had outstanding moments, but overall they are not as good as the absolute figures. In becoming part of the ’Twelve Strong’, luck played a greater role.
Even so, the two were determined to be Fourth Tier, not sinking to the lowest Fifth Tier, which is still good, securing at least a reward of 20,000 jin of Essence Stones, practically getting rich overnight.
But, in this ’Twelve Strong’, whether ordinary or absolute, the biggest winner is neither of them, but—
...
"Hai Character Champion!"
"Yan Chuan Team!"
"Joining the ’Twelve Strong’, Team Captain Yan Chuan’s Martial Arts accomplishments are extraordinary. Wang Zhengyi, Wang Ge, and Fu Yunzhan each have breakthroughs with martial skills worthy of Absolute. Chen Ze comprehended the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] to Prove Innate Dao, with a comprehensive evaluation of Second Tier First Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (40,000 jin), troops (8,000 men)."
"Victory 797, Second Tier Ninth Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (40,000 jin), troops (800 men)."
"Defended the arena for 49 days, accumulating 49 points, First Tier First Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (100,000 jin), a King City (one), a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill, 10 bottles of Lianzang Pill, 100 bottles of Top-Grade Qi Blood Pill, 1,000 bottles of Low Grade Qi Blood Pill."
...
"Twelve Strong!"
"Victory Award!"
"Arena Master Award!"
"Two Second Tiers, one First Tier!"
"They’ve struck it rich!"
With the announcement of rewards for Yan Chuan and others, a wave of cheers erupted at the peak of Chess Stone Peak, instantly reaching a peak of excitement.
This undoubtedly is the largest reward of this Sword Discussion and very likely unmatched in the future.
King City!
Troops!
Essence Stones!
From then on—
Authority!
Martial power!
Wealth!
Yan Chuan Team lacks none of these, able to settle in King City, cultivating steadily to the Innate Realm!
Especially Yan Chuan—
"A King City is mine, where I will hold martial arts lectures in the city, with all its scholars and citizens coming to listen, day and night, endlessly. Then, ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ will trigger, and to what extent will my strength soar?"
Yan Chuan was overjoyed—
"We’ve hit the jackpot!"
